    Night riding setup for eMTB — what lights are you using?

    Magishine monteer on the bars. Great light let down by a cable that melts where it enters the lamp unit. Have had to shorten the cable and re-solder it a couple of times now as the outer gets hot and goes brittle which falls off and causes intermittent shorting. After years of a helmet mounted...

    Other More Practical Ways To Bleed Air From Shimano Brakes

    Try this. Rotate the lever on bars so the reservoir is horizontal. Remeve cap and screw in the fluid bleed cup. Pour in some fluid and remove the pin from the cup. Then use a stro g rubber band or a cable tie to pull the lever to the bars. Then go to bed. In the morning remove in reverse order...

    2022 Orbea Rise M10 replacement Shimano EW-SD50 cable - how do you route it?

    I had to change this cable. And yes you do need to cut the end off the brake hose to get the cable gland off in order to thread the new cable through first. Maker sure you have a new olive and barb before starting. It's a right pita job. I also ended up dropping forks and removing battery to...

    Anyone rode Snowdon or Cadair Idris?

    Done them both several times on both analogue and Ebikes. Both will require some hike abike unless you are Danny Mac. Snowdon is also under volutary restriction in summer so you either have to ride it very early doors or late evening or wate till autumn. Most of it is not that hard to be fair...

    The hospital inducing injury list

    Broken collarbone 9 weeks before a trip tothe Alps. Treated conservatively and managed to make and enjoy the trip. Last October managed to wash out at speed on a carpet of acorns and fractured my thumb. Had to have 2 pins inserted while it healed, which it did quite quickly. Then fell off and...

    2027 Orbea Wild LT Released - Avinox Powered

    And do not unfer estimate the power of aesthetics. The form factor of the 800wh avinox battery vs the bosch one is so much more pleasing on the eye. And looks play a real role in the sale of high end bikes Edit. Beaten to it by seconds lol

    Mondraker Zendit Avinox

    Interesting. I have always suffered much higher battery consumption that any of the others I ride with, even those of similar size (person and battery). I just changed out the standard 38 ring for a 36 and for the first ride ever I came back with more battery than the others. It also felt better...

    Show me your bike vans

    I had one for years and would say it is not possible to have a row of rear seats and leave wheels on the bike. Was possible in my mates lwb but not my swb. I ended up with just a single seat in the back so the bikes would fit up the side of it. Efectively a 3 seater van. My Sprinter doesn#t have...

    Pic of the Day

    Just about to go to bed last night when an alarm on phone went off. Checked and it appeared that a very high chance of viewing the Aurora from anywhere in the UK. So stepped out and took following shots with phone. Only lasted 15 mins and only 2nd time I have experienced them here in South Wales

    How much does sustainability drive your e-bike use?

    I use mine to check on my sheep most days to save using the quad bike for environmental reasons. But mostly I ride mtb for fun
